Second, the retention of at least 25 convicts to work on the grounds of the University and the College according to the agreement now in effect with Clarke county.

Maintenance Fund: APPROVED
a. An increase in the maintenance fund form $90,000.00 to $125,000.00.

Anim. Husb. Bldg: APPROVED

It is their desire that so far as a very small endowment can be administered like a very large one, the Henry Warren Brown Memorial Fund shall be modeled upon the plan mapped out for the Charles McDonald Brown Fund, given by Governor Joseph E. Brown to the University in . A check for six hundred dollars accompanies this letter, and represents the first of a series of twenty annual payments, to which the father and mother, sister and brother of Henry Warren Brown pledge themselves, covering the years from 1920-1949 inclusive.
The only change they suggest, from the methods of the Charles McDonald Brown Memorial Fund is that in new of the present high prices of necessities of life the maximum sum to be lent to any one student be placed at three hundred dollars instead of two hundred dollars. But this detail they leave entirely at the due action of the Board of Trustees, by whom they beg that this Henry Warren Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund be accepted and administered.

“Whereas it is meet + proper that his alma mater place prominently in her halls a suitable lasting memorial of this priceless contribution of her distinguished son in the cause of suffering (Page 207) humanity throughout the world and for all time, both for her honor as his fond mother and also as a just and fitting testimony to the historic fact (in spite of conflicting claims to the contrary) that Dr. Crawford W. Long was first to use sulfuric ether in the alleviation and banishment of human suffering – the true discoverer of the inestimable benefits to be derived from the use of sulfuric either in surgical operatives, and
Resolutions on Dr. Jacob Offer:
“Whereas Dr. Joseph Jacob, a loyal and generous alumnus of Old Georgia, who has been most jealous in collecting and publishing in the interest of the truth in history, the incontestable proofs which establish beyond all question that to Dr. Crawford W. Long is justly due through coming ages the title “benefactor of mankind”, requests the privilege of presenting to the University a suitable bronze medallion, appropriately inscribed, and to be permanently placed in out halls in memory of Dr. Crawford W. Long and of his great discovery,
“Therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the University accepts the gift tendered by Dr. Joseph Jacob with grateful appreciation of his loyalty and public spirit which thus afford the University an opportunity to pay lasting honor to the discoverer of anesthesia, a loyal son of Georgia, Dr. Crawford W. Long.

“Therefore, be it resolved, by the Trustees of the University of Georgia, that the legislative committee of the Board be requested to secure such legislation as may be necessary to give this Board the authority to admit women to all departments and schools of they University on the campus in Athens, upon the same terms as men, and under such rules and regulations as the Board may adopt.”

(Page 219 Typed)
Athens, Ga. June 11, 1921.
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Gentlemen:
The Committee on Laws and Discipline submit the following report:
Treadwell Bequest: ADOPTED
1. The bequest of Mrs. Rebecca J. Treadwell, mentioned on page 9 of the Chancellor’s report, contemplates the turning over to the University of Georgia the net income from loans “for the purpose of educating poor and deserving boys”. The language of the will quoted in the report is not specific on the question as to whether the trustees may follow their usual policy of lending the fund received to its beneficiaries, or must give it as an absolute gift.
The Committee recommends tat Messrs. Russell and Brittain be appointed a special committee for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Carson in order to ascertain the purpose of the donor, and that this committee report to the Board at its next annual session.
Y. M. C. A. Fee: NOT ADOPTED BUT HELD OPEN FOR DISCUSSION
2. With reference to the application of Mr. E. R. Hodgson, Jr., president of the Board of Directors of the University Young Men’s Christian Association, requesting that this Board place a fee of $3.00 upon each male student matriculating at the University for the purpose of aiding the finances of the University Y. M. C. A. in its activities “for the social, moral and spiritual welfare of the student body”, your Committee is constrained to report adversely, for the reason that it thinks that this compulsory fee is not in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Constitution of the State (Page 220 Typed) and that consistently therewith we cannot compel, and ought not to try to compel a student to pay the fee for the support of a cause, no matter how meritorious, which may not represent his religious views.
Chair of Art: ADOPTED
3. With reference to the communication of Mrs. Florida C. Orr, the Committee reports that, while the members are in full sympathy with the cause represented by Mrs. Orr, designed to protect the trees of the state and would be glad to encourage her laudable and patriotic efforts, yet in view of the state of our finances and the further fact that there is connected with the State Agricultural College a Department of Forestry, we are unable to recommend at this time the establishment of a Chair of Art in the University.
Case Prizes: ADOPTED
4. Except in cases where prizes are specifically offered your Committee recommends that students who may earn medals, cups, or similar distinctions, be not allowed to accept cash in lieu thereof.
Law Dept.: NOT ADOPTED BUT HELD OPEN FOR DISCUSSION
5. Touching the resolution that an additional professorship be established in the Law Department, your Committee reports unfavorably as to this specific resolution because of the fact there are now already three professorships, but he Committee recommends that the faculty of this Department be so readjusted as to secure, if possible, as a member of the faculty, Judge Andrew J. Cobb and the prestige and advantage that would be incident to his connection with the faculty.
Name of School of Education: ADOPTED
6. We report adversely as to the suggestion that the name of the Peabody School of Education be changed to that of the School of Education and Social Science, the Committee believing that it is better to adhere to the present name.
Romance Languages: ADOPTED
7. Your Committee finds that the Prudential Committee exceeded its authority in making Spanish a separate department in the Department of Romance Languages. We, therefore, recommend that this action be rescinded and thus, Professor Lustrat remain the head of this department as before the action of the Prudential Committee.

Charges Against Dr. J. M. Reade:
That on several occasions I have seen him actively at work on the construction of his residence on the Sabbath and have also seen him in overalls working his garden on the Sabbath.

To the Honorable Board of Trustees
Of the University of Georgia.
Gentlemen:
During the time of your meeting in 1920 (Page 222) I informed your chairman that it was my intention to ask to be relieved of the duties of the Chancellorship at this time.
I am presenting my resignation to take effect September 1, 1922, unless your Honorable Body should decide on an earlier date.
This will give time for the selection of a successor, and will enable me to take some part in the Memorial Drive.
The footsteps of the swiftly passing years make no sound but they beat down the path. My age as such that this action is necessary.
I esteem it a privilege to have served under this distinguished body for so many years – from instructor to Chancellor.
Your kindness has been such, that in my thought I regard you as partial friends.
Respectfully submitted,
David C. Barrow.

Re-adjustment of Law Faculty:
“Your committee, to whom the matter of the re-organization of the Law School was referred, submit this report:
Judge A. J. Cobb Elected as Professor of Law:
“1. The Law Department is the only department of the University that charges fees. It has been almost self-supporting. From its relations with the University it should be a strong school in what it offers in its teaching force. It has strong competition from many angles.
“2. We recommend that Judge A. J. Cobb be elected as a professor therein at a salary of three thousand dollars per year and that the present regular force Messrs. Morris, Comett + Upson, be retained at their present salaries. We believe that such re-organization will give the school new life and vitality and will add much to the attendance.
“3. We recommend that, of such re-organization be adopted by the Board, it should be well advertised, especially Judge Cobb’s connection with it, and that so large an attendance as possible be secured.
“4. We are aware of the straits to which the Board is reduced on account of lack of funds, but in our opinion the plan outlined here will be economy in the end.”
(Page 224) At the afternoon session Mr. Cobb introduced a resolution in regard to the College YMCA work and it was referred to the Laws + Discipline Committee.
Report of Finance Committee:
Mr. Simmons reported for the Finance Committee and moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Howell moved to amend by adding two hundred dollars to the salary of Dr. H. C. White, the oldest member of the faculty. The amendment was adopted and the report as amended was adopted [See Book of Reports, Page…].

The member of the graduating class presented a petition asking that the resignation of the Chancellor be not accepted. Referred to Laws + Discipline Committee.
On motion of Mr. Gober the statement of the Faculty and the petition of the students were ordered spread upon the minutes.
FACULTY STATEMENT
Faculty Protest Against Chancellor’s Resignation:
“The Faculty of the University have heard with surprise and distress that the Chancellor has tendered his resignation to the Board of Trustees. While they do not presume to think that their attitude in the premises should be the controlling factor, they believe that the Board of Trustees will realize that their wishes constitute a consideration of some weight. Therefore, be it resolved, that the Faculty of the University urge upon the Governing Body of the institution the wisdom and necessity at thus juncture in the institution’s affairs of declining to accept the Chancellor’s resignation.”
STUDENTS’ PETITION
Students Protest Against Chancellor’s Resignation:
To the Trustees of the Univ. of Georgia:
We, the members of the graduating class of 1921, I respectfully urge upon the Trustees of the University of Georgia to do everything in their power to prevent the resignation of Chancellor David C. Barrow.
We are not unaware of the fact that it might be anger that by reason of Chancellor Barrow’s age a younger and a more vigorous man could better carry forward the work of the University of Georgia. The class of 1921 holds that this is not true; on the contrary, it is believed by the class that his resignation would be little shout of disastrous coming at this time. His greatest love for the institution and the great love the students (Page 225) bear to him makes him the strongest simple asset of the University.
Respectfully submitted by the Class of 1921

L + D Report:
Mr. Adams reported for the Laws + Discipline Committee and the report was adopted. Messrs. Meldrim and Russell requesting that their votes be recorded in the negative as to that portion exempting the “G” man from drill.
This report was as follows:
Chancellor’s Resignation:
“1. With reference to the Chancellor’s resignation dated June 11, 1921, we recommend, deeming that this course is lost for the State and the University, that the Chancellor be requested to withdraw this resignation.
Board of Visitors Report:
“2. We have read with interest and pleasure the report of the Board of Visitors, which is thorough and exhibits painstaking care and a full appreciation of the needs of the University. We indulge the hope that these needs will one day be met by the state. At this time we can only commend the report and express our thanks for the same.
“Four-Quarter” System:
“3. We recommend that the “Four-Quarter” System; endorsed by the Faculty at its meeting held March 7, 1921, and recommended by the Chancellor, be adopted and carried out as soon as the finances of the University will permit.
Univ. Y. M. C. A.:
“4. We heartily endorse the work of the University YMCA, and recommend to the student body its support and full co-operation with this most useful and important work.
GA Hutchinson Mary D. Lyndon Re-elected:
“5. We recommend that the recommendation of Dr. Woofter, Dean of the Peabody School of Education, be approved as this recommendation is stated on page 128 of the Chancellor’s report, that is to say, the permanent election of Dr. George A. Hutchinson, professor of Philosophy and Education and associate Professor of Education.
No Tutor in Romance Lang.:
“6. The Committee regrets that because of the lack of means, it cannot recommend to the Board of Trustees the appointment of a tutor in the School of Romance Languages as requested by Prof. of Romance Languages in his communication with the Chancellor on June 12, 1921.
“6” Men Exempt Drill:
“7. We approve of the recommendation of Prof. Sanford that all men who have made the athletic “G” be exempt from military drill. This rule, if adopted, will exempt only the letter men of the Sophomore Class. Juniors and Seniors in the University do not have to drill, + after this year no freshman can play in inter-collegiate athletics.
Soliciting Advt. in Name of Univ.
“8. We also approve the recommendation of Prof. Sanford to the effect that representatives of no (Page 230) publications, handbooks, programs, etc., be allowed to solicit advertisements in the name of the University of Georgia except for the Pandora, Red + Black, Agricultural Quarterly, Engineering Annual, Georgia or Georgia Cracker, YMCA Handbook, Athletic Score Cards, and such other publications as may first receive the approval of the Chancellor.
$100 Added to Athletics Fee:
“9. We recommend that $100 be added to the athletic fee to aid in the publication and distribution of the Red + Black to the students, and thus the adoption of the same policy as now obtains with reference to the Georgia.
Reorganizing Athletic Board:
“10. We recommend that authority be given to the Committee on Athletics selected by the Board at the present session to re-organize the Board of Directors under the regulations of the new Southern Athletic Conference of which the University Athletic Association is a member.
School of Commerce:
“11. The cha report shows the imperative need of the School of Commerce for additional half. There are only three professors in this department + during the present year there were 225 degree students and 511 receiving instruction. It is unnecessary to say that it is impossible for good work to be done, no matter how efficient the professors, without aid.”
Chancellor’s Resignation Withdrawn:
Chancellor Barrow appeared before the Board and, stating that he had come to the conclusion that perhaps he had made a mistake in offering the resignation, asked that he be allowed to withdrawn it. This request was unanimously granted, and the resignation of the Chancellor was withdrawn.
Mr. Adams reported as follows for the special committee to whom the charges against Dr. J. M. Reade had been referred; and the report of the committee was adopted:
Report on J. M. Reade Charges Adopted:

Prior to the adoption of this report, Mr. Gober had moved the following as a substitute:
Gober Substitute for Above Report Lost:
“Resolved, that J. M .Reade, professor of Botany, has been shown to have built his house or worked thereon on the Lord’s or Sabbath Day and to have done this to the outrage of his neighbors and the law abiding citizens of Athens, and he has set up that his conscience is clear and that the felt no compunctions on the account, + this being in flagrant violation of the rules of this (Page 231) Board, it is ordered that the said Reade be and he is hereby dismissed from the service of the University.”
On the motion of Mr. Gober the yeas + nays were called and the vote was as follows: Yea – Gober, Bennett; nay – McDaniel, Simmons, Adams, Bower, Howell, Cleveland, Brown, Cobb, Hughes, Meldrim, Hardy, Thomas, Russell, Lovvom, Hodgson.

“Miss Franklin, the artist, had been invited to be present and she was introduced, and by a rising vote the members expressed their gratification at meeting her and of being given an opportunity of viewing the splendid portrait which she had placed in such enduring form. It was pronounced as a speaking likeness of the great man whose generous philanthropy and love for his fellow-men had prompted from him gifts so materially elevating, and blessing the efforts of men to better the condition of their fellow-men. Dr. T. J. Woofter, Dean of the School, on the part of the Chancellor and Faculty, gave an interesting and illuminating biographical but brief sketch of the distinguished subject of the portrait and of the donations he had made from time to time. Especially did he refer to his greatest donation for the Southern section of our country and to the particular gift of the Peabody Fund for the erection of the Peabody Building and the establishment of this school.
“At the conclusion of this address he presented for Miss Franklin the portrait, which is a most striking evidence of her skill in portraiture. It had been placed in a most advantageous light for the inspection of the Board during the exercise.
Judge Peter W. Meldrim, Vice-Chairman, in appropriate language then received the gift for and in behalf of the Board, and as expressive of its appreciation it is now resolved that this portrait is formally accepted and it is directed that it be assigned to the keeping of the Dean of the Peabody School of Education of the University.
“Resolved, that the thanks of the Board are extended to Miss Franklin and the Secretary will place this preamble and resolution on the minutes and transit a coy to Miss Franklin.

(Page 262) (Typed) The Committee on Laws and Discipline begs to report as follows:
- We recommend that the minutes of the Prudential Committee be approved with the exception of the action of the Prudential Committee in authorizing the degree of Master of Science in Commerce.

- We recommend that the degree of Master of Science in Commerce be created and authorized.

- We recommend that Mr. Crumley be given a hearing by the Committee with reference to the estate of Mrs. Treadwell and the claim of some of her heirs to share in said estate.
We recommend that the leave of absence as requested be granted to Professor R. P. Stevens, he to furnish an assistant to do his work in his absence who shall be
- satisfactory to the Prudential Committee.
Visiting Committee’s Report.
We desire to commend the report of the Visiting Committee in its entirety and that the Legislative Committee of this Board be authorized to invite the members of the Visiting Committee to appear with them before the Legislative Committee at the coming session of the Legislature.
We especially commend the statement in the Committee’s report as follows:
“The growth and development of the University must stop where it is today or else a material increase must be provided in its physical equipment and its staff of instructors.”
We think this statement merits the approval of the Board and should be impressed upon the people of Georgia to the fullest extent.
We recommend the endorsement of the recommendation of the Visiting Committee with reference to the additional dormitory facilities for women and hope that some means can be worked up whereby this desired result can be accomplished.
We endorse the recommendation of the Visiting Committee that all students of the Junior and Senior classes who are not enrolled in Military Department be required to take regular physical training under the direction of a professor of physical training and hope some arrangements can be made whereby this recommendation can be accomplished.
We recommend that the question of the purchase of two linotype machines for use in the Department of Journalism be referred to the Finance Committee.
We recommend that the recommendation of the Visiting Committee to do away with the spring holidays be not approved.
We recommend that action on that section of the Board of Visitors report relative to moving up commencement one week be deferred and the Chancellor be directed to take up the question with the heads of the branch colleges and bring in a recommendation on the subject to the Prudential Committee which Committee shall have power to act on said recommendation. That portion of the report of the Board of Visitors concerning the State College of Agriculture is commended and this (Page 263) Committee recommends that the negro property near the campus of the College of Agriculture referred to in the report, be purchased as soon as possible.
This Committee recommends that the Chancellor be requested to prepare a report on the four quarter system setting forth definitely what is proposed to be done and the cost thereof and that said report be made to this Board at its next annual session.

The Board, prompted by a spirit of consideration, which has touched me deeply and which will always be cherished among the prized recollections of a long life, has for sometime past relieved me in large part of the duties incident to the Chairmanship. May of the duties devolving upon me may been generously performed by other members of the Board and by its Secretary, awaiting the time when it might be expected that by regain of strength I would in full measure resume them.
Since my last election as Chairman, however, I have been subjected to severe illness and, while my condition is improved, I cannot look forward to a speedy restoration to bodily vigor (Crossed Out) – even such as might, but for my recent sickness, otherwise be compatible with my age.
In the circumstances I feel impelled to state to you that you must choose another Chairman in order that the duties and responsibilities of the position may be entrusted to one younger and more active than myself – one better able to aggressively promote and advance both the internal concerns and public interest of the University.
Through the graciousness and favor of the Board I have been its Chairman in continuous succession for a long period of time. Such work as I have been able to do in behalf of the University’s welfare is regarded by me as a form of public service of the highest order.
In my work as Chairman I can truly say that I have ever had the full support, cordial sympathy and earnest cooperation of every member of the Board, even as its personnel from time to time changed. I can say the same as to each and every officer of the University. With such experience as this, words become inadequate to express the overflowing sentiments of regard and friendship which I entertain for my fellow members of the Board and co-workers in the University.
During the balance of my term as Trustee, I desire and shall endeavor, in the ranks with the other members, to render the University all the service which my health and strength will permit; but the Chairmanship of the Board must be placed in other hands – less feeble than mine.
Very respectfully,
Henry D. McDaniel

“Whereas during the long years he has been Chairman he has discharged the duties of Chairman with fairness, impartiality, and to the complete satisfaction of every member of this Board without criticism of his administration of the important office; and
“Whereas the Board of Trustees recognizes the great services that this distinguished Georgian has rendered to his native sate and to the University of Georgia; that in his young manhood, at the call of his country, he went to the War between the States as a Mayor of Volunteers; that in the storm of battle he received serious wounds from which he has every suffered; that after the War he served his state in the Constitutional Convention, in the General Assembly, and for two terms as Governor, discharging all these duties with great credit to himself and to the citizens of the state; and
“Whereas this Board of Trustees commends the life and the services of this pre-eminent Georgian as worthy of the emulation of the young men of this great Commonwealth in the present and in the coming years, and recommend him as an example for them to follow in civic, moral + political aspirations;

Mr. Peabody was named as a member of the Committee on Research Work of Georgians.
The budget committee, through its Chairman Mr. Gober, made the following report.
“The committee on the Budget submit the following report upon the Budget to be presented to the legislature for appropriations for the years 1924 + 1925. We? adopted (Page 275) the following portion of the Chancellor’s report:
“By an act of the legislature a budget committee was established + the committee has held its meeting. The Pc presented a budget, which in their judgment represented the needs of the University. This budget included certain buildings but the stress was laid on maintenance. During the next biennium, even with the present state appropriation, our income for the biennium will be reduced $60000. This arises from the fact that the annual contribution of $40000 from the General Education Board classes July 1, 1924.
“The growth in numbers which has been act forth demands at present an increase in the teaching force. It seems logical to expect that the numbers will continue to increase. The budget of the Prudential Committee was, however, based upon the present needs as set forth by the heads of departments.
“I hope I have not said too much about our needs. I have tried to be moderate in many expressions. As a rule the other unites of the University system are in the dilemma, as the Board knows from members who represent these colleges.
“The amount which the Prudential Committee asked for maintenance was $150000 for each of the years 1924 + 1925.”
An appropriation of $5000 for the Library and Extension work in connection therewith. This matter is an urgent need, to keep and maintain the library as it should be. It is used by the 1500 students in regular attendance as well as 2000 students of the Summer School who are teachers and attend during the six weeks session.
There is an imperative need for a woman’s dormitory on the campus. These students have no dormitory at present on the original campus and there are about 174 in attendance who pursue their work in Franklin College. There should be an appropriation for this building of at least $125000.
The buildings on the Campus are old and scattered and there is great trouble in keeping them in condition fit for uses. As heretofore, there should be an appropriation of at least $5000 for each year for repairs.
The School of Technology asks that its former appropriation of $112500, last year made, be increased by $65000. This school is in great stress and it seems the failure to give it this appropriation would be disastrous to its proper maintenance, progress and usefulness.
Bowdon College has done good work during the past year. It had an appropriation of $15000 last year and it asks for $30000 per year for the next two years. It also asks for $100,000 for a dormitory which is needed.
(Page 276) The State Normal School asks that its appropriation be increased to $100,000 for maintenance. This is a large school and it seems impossible for it to run on the present appropriation.
The Georgia State Industrial College had an appropriation to replace a burned building. It has scraped up in addition to this appropriation about $17500, which has been spent on the construction. An additional amount is necessary for its completion. The authorities suggest that $ will be necessary. Under the Landscrip Act Georgia agreed to and is obligated to furnish proper buildings for this school, and if the state fails to do it, it will be liable to lose the money coming to it under the Morrill Act of 1890. It is important that the state meet its obligations in this respect.
The claims for appropriations for the Agricultural College are set forth in the summary next hereinafter. It would be idle to present have claims of the Agricultural College or to enlarge on the great work it is doing for the State.
